Unlikely to fly in Python.  We really don't like things that have
"obvious semantics" based on appearance that don't have those
semantics.  Something like "(x=0, y=1)" is so obviously a literal
creating a collections.namedtuple, the object it creates really needs
to *be* a collections.namedtuple.

YMMV, but I suspect most Python developers will agree with me to some
extent, and most of those, pretty strongly.
